1. Alabama vs. Michigan, in Arlington, Texas, Sept. 1: Nick Saban likes the idea of playing a big-name opponent at a neutral site. The Crimson Tide get the Wolverines in Cowboys Stadium to open the season in what will likely be a matchup of preseason top-10 teams. Alabama will be somewhere in the top 5 after winning its second national championship in three seasons a year ago, and Michigan appears to be on the move after Brady Hoke led the Wolverines to 11 wins, including a victory over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl, in his debut season a year ago.

USCe at Clemson and Auburn vs Clemson in Atlanta are ranked #2 & #3. Clemson getting a lot of love.

Does LSU not have any big OOC games this year?

Apparently not. They must have used them all up last year.

Clemson always gets love this time of year. That program would be on top of the world if they didn't actually have to play the games in the fall. BTW. Bet you didn't know that the season is named "fall" to honor the Clemson tradition of dropping like a stone in the polls as soon as the actual football playing commences.
